Modern Romance
Overanalysing that one-word text? Read this first 📱
Who it's for
When you are decoding every text from someone who will not define things, it helps to learn that the confusion is partly built into how people date now, not proof that something is wrong with you.
Feelings it meets
What it is
Comedian Aziz Ansari teamed up with sociologist Eric Klinenberg to study how dating has changed. Drawing on interviews and focus groups in cities around the world, online forums and behavioural research, the book looks at texting, dating apps, the overload of choice and why modern romance can feel so ambiguous, contrasting it with how earlier generations met and married.
Where to find it
Widely available in print, ebook and audiobook (audiobook read by Aziz Ansari).
